The Sword Sermon of Chaplain Talmage at Thirteenth Regiment
The sermon extols the sword’s historical role in liberty and justice, praises battles from Marathon to Lexington, urges disciplined militia and disarmament, and envisions swords becoming plowshares through a global shift to peace. It recalls Civil War heroes, warns of mob violence, and ends with a call to regimental loyalty and Christian symbolism.
